Guild Wars 2

Personally, i find it annoying and distracting! is there any ways to toggle them off so you don’t have to see “toy maker something” on everyone? or at least hide them in sPvp

Yes please, it’s so annoying to see so many titles take up so much screen.

Hide all names players, NPCs, foes and you will have a cleaner screen view. You can always see them on mouse over plus the party members will remain shown.
GW1 had titles displayed all the time and none get kitten off with them for 7 years.
you got kitten off in 5 min?

I already hide all nameplates by defaut (makes the game so much more immersive and beautiful), but hitting “alt” to show them now displays a sea of white titles, which makes it harder to read the funny names… A little tick box to hide / display other players titles would be a nice addition.

If you display a title you want that others are seeing it. If they can hide it, then it denies the purpose of displaying it.
I agree the titles are a screen clutter and I also agree that titles were not visible in GW1 instances (explorables, dungeons) or in PvP matches, but as GW2 isn’t mainly instanced, giving players the option to hide them is not a valid thing to do.

If you read these forums, you will see people asking for titles to be more visible. Why? They want to “show off” sort to speak. If you are able to hide it, it is like “:a spit in their face” don’t you think?

So, hiding titles should be an internal game process – inside dungeons / instances for example – and not an option in the player’s control

I ‘d rather add a space limit radius in which the tiles are seen, you wont be able to see them at a very far distance but only in your vicinity. This would be a more reasonable solution from both parts: those who want to show them and those who don’t want to see them.

Personally I do not want to see peoples member titles or anything about them other than their name unless I select them. I don’t want to turn off names because that makes things confusing.

@Ronah – I don’t think not displaying other players title equates to “spitting in their faces” in any sort of way.

First those players don’t even know you don’t have their titles displayed.
Second the titles are still there to be looked at if the character is selected.
And third, I’d argue somewhat the opposite and say that the titles being force-displayed are likely more of an annoyance/hinderance to other players than not being able to force others to see your title is to any given player. But players getting upset because they can’t force everyone in a fifty yard radius to see that they earned a title? Are they not getting enough attention at home or something? I don’t get it…

Actually no. The titles were only visible when putting the mouse over the player or selecting him, so it was not overwhelming the screen.
That would be a much better solution.

That solution exists already but people are too “busy” searching it themselves. And it is exactly like in GW1
